Due to struictural changes by our provider, they have allocated us a new IP range. This is both advantageous and disadvantageous, it allows all of us more control of our addresses and removes the annoying DalNet ban however, it is additional work that we really don't need.

Previous IP Details:
Main IP: 66.90.92.58
Additional IPs: 208.53.175.2 - 208.53.175.126

New IP Details:
Main IP: 208.98.1.58
Additional IPs: 208.98.27.3 - 208.98.27.106

As always, I am prohibiting binding to the main IP, we have more than one hundred others, use them and this time I am considering imposing hard limits on that. You may also not bind to commonly used ports like 6660-6669, 7000, 8080, 9999, 31337, etc. Also remember that as normal users you can only bind to ports over 1024.

The more observant of you may have noticed that there are 20 less IPs listed in the new list of IPs to the old one however there are still 126 IPs on the server, this is because I am reserving our final 20 IPs for staff use, users are prohibited from binding to these.

The change between ranges has not yet happened and I have no allocated a set time period for it, however I hope to do it this afternoon. I will update this when it has been completed.

All users please note, that although we do allow BNC's we do not allow IRCds, IRC services, etc. Shoutcasts may be permitted but only with permission from an administrator.

Update: IPs changed earlier today, you may need to modify your bnc/egg/etc configs.

There ya go. Thanks mate.

Hello Tim. I own account energy on Pheonix. A somewhat good thing with the ip's.. But still some of those don't resolve. For example, if I am in mIRC and try /dns xx.xx.xx.xx that IP beeing one from the range above, I get cannot resolve. This thing doesn't happen with all of them..but in most cases... If I set my vhost to one of the ip's that does not resolve.. It gets down, the connection fails after maximun 10 hours. What could it be ?

The dns resolving thing is mainly that I just don't have the time to mess with dns. The 10 hour thing sounds like its either the software you're using or the server you're connecting too....or you just got unlucky and there happened to be 2 network outages which were 10 hours apart.
